Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Because Dragonite's stamina wasn't greatly depleted at the time, the Multiscale ability took effect again after it recovered from its roosting.

Salamence's full-force attack was reduced by half.

However, the damage was still explosive, and Dragonite almost couldn't withstand it.

After using Roost again, Dragonite's stamina recovered to about 60%.

However, due to the damage caused by the potent poison, Dragonite cannot stay in one place for long.

After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Dragonite took off again.

Genji, who had quickly figured out how Dragonite had withstood Salamence's self-sacrificing charge, spoke up once again.

"So, without even saying the command, the Pokémon can understand the trainer's thoughts and release their moves in perfect unison..."

"Ash, the bond between you and your Pokémon is truly touching." Genji felt that he had underestimated Ash before.

This young man might really be able to shoulder the future of the Pokémon League, just like the legends of the past!

However, Ash was unaware that Genji had already elevated him to the same level as those legendary figures in his mind, and he remained focused solely on the battle.

The situation has now reversed. Although Dragonite is poisoned, it is still in good physical condition. On the other hand, Salamence is exhausted after using Tackle twice.

This is the downside of self-sacrifice charge-type counter-damage skills.

The stronger a Pokémon's attack power, the greater the power of its special move, and the greater the backlash damage it will suffer.

If you can't defeat your opponent in one move after using it, then things will get complicated.

Racing against time, Ash naturally chose to press his advantage.

"Alright, Dragonite! Use Blizzard now!"

"Ah oh!"

Dragonite flew with a gentle smile on its face, then suddenly leaped up and approached Salamence.

Judging by its expression alone, Dragonite looks like a friendly friend going to play with its opponent, but when you look at the speed at which it gathers its ultimate move, it doesn't hesitate for a moment.

He's completely turned into a pervert who likes to kill with a smile! But Ash likes it.

"Dragonite, launch Blizzard!"

"Oops~!"

"So fast! It's too late to defend! Salamence, get out of the way!"

Salamence, like Dragonite, is a Dragon/Flying type Pokémon, and both possess a 4x weakness to Ice, a trait that symbolizes the noble pseudo-legendary status of the Dragon type.

Even though Blizzard isn't Dragonite's STAB move, it can still deal significant damage to Salamence when used.

Furthermore, after Mega Evolution, Dragonite's physical attack power is slightly weakened, but its special attack power is greatly enhanced, making it even more adept at using powerful special attack moves like Blizzard.

A blizzard of icy cold water erupted from Dragonite's mouth, engulfing Salamence's body.

But Genji's Salamence was, after all, a seasoned veteran, and it broke free quickly with a burst of power, escaping the blizzard's reach.

But it staggered because a thin layer of ice had formed on the tips of its wings.

"Great! Now Mr. Genji's Salamence will definitely be affected; it won't be able to unleash its terrifying high speed!"

Xiao Sheng immediately said excitedly.

And indeed, this is true; Salamence's flight agility has become noticeably slower than before.

"This is an opportunity we can't miss! Dragonite, let's finish this battle quickly! Ice Punch!"

As a noble pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Dragonite has an incredibly deep move pool. Ice-type moves, which are almost non-existent in other Dragon-type Pokémon, appear in abundance on it.

In the blink of an eye, another move, the Frozen Punch, one of the "Farmer's Three Punches," came crashing down.

"Don't underestimate us, kid! Salamence's Reverse Scale!"

This was the final blow. Dragonite's multiscales were broken, and Salamence's stamina had reached its limit.

Neither side can withstand another blow from the other; now, whoever strikes first will win.

"Go, Dragonite! One last hit!"

"Salamander, we won't lose!"

"Ah oh!"

"Roar!!!"

The two Pokémon in the sky moved simultaneously, rushing towards each other at lightning speed.

Salamence pushed all the stamina it could muster to the limit, and the ice on its wings shattered from the high-speed friction with the air. It then attacked Dragonite with its claws outstretched.

Dragonite, with a smile on its face, swung its large, chilling fist, which collided heavily with Salamence's claw.

The immense force brought an astonishing impact, causing the sails of the surrounding ships to flap loudly, and the people on the ground to fall over once again.

"Max, Pikachu!" May grabbed her unsteady companion, Max could only say in a daze.

"As expected, you can't watch a battle of this caliber too closely. There's a reason why the stands in those big arenas are so far apart~"

Amidst the chaos, only Satoshi and Genji remained standing in their original positions.

The two men looked up at the same time, staring intently at the sky, waiting for the outcome of the battle.

After a brief stalemate, Ash's Dragonite finally gained the upper hand.

The thick muscles on its arms, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, bulged again, and its face still wore a gentle smile.

With a look of terror in the Salamence's eyes, it slowly pushed its claws back.

A chill emanated from Dragonite's large, blue-glowing fist, instantly freezing Salamence's claws.

Then Dragonite's other strong arm lit up with blue light and punched Salamence in the chin, a move that was extremely effective.

The Salamence let out a miserable cry and flew backward, crashing heavily back to the ground.

"Roar……"

Within the giant crater created by the collision, Salamence's Mega Evolution was deactivated, and it reverted to its original form.

"A Salamence!?" Genji exclaimed in surprise, but quickly smiled with relief.

"As a Pokémon Trainer, Ash, you certainly have the ability to get this far... I really look forward to your future."

At this moment, Liang Guang quickly ran forward to take a look, and then immediately raised the flag in his hand.

"Salamander is unable to battle. Ash wins this battle!"

Upon hearing this, Ash immediately ran excitedly towards the center of the field.

"Well done, Dragonite! I knew you could do it!"

"Ah oh!"

Dragonite instantly reverted to Mega Evolution and pounced over to hug Ash.

After the battle, as a reward for giving himself a good match, Genji generously treated Ash and his friends to a delicious and luxurious seafood feast.

Everything caught at sea is guaranteed to be fresh, as it's all caught by the crew themselves.

Xiao Zhi even had a fishing competition with Genji. He's now a fishing god and is full of confidence!

Then, he suffered a crushing defeat. All ten fish that Xiaozhi caught were not even as big as one of Mr. Genji's.

"Damn it, even though I can catch fish now, but... but... I'm so unwilling to accept this!!!"

"Alright, Satoshi, Mr. Genji treated us to such a sumptuous meal, so stop being stubborn. Quickly release the little fish fry back into your bucket and come eat."

"Small fish fry!?"

The muscular man, huddled on the deck, heartbroken, was further humiliated by Xiaoyao. With no other option, he channeled his grief into his appetite and devoured a meal.

Amidst laughter and cheers, the black and gold sailboat slowly departed from Green Ridge Harbor, heading towards Ash and his friends' next destination.

————Dragon Pulse————

"What did you say! Genji was defeated?"

The headquarters of the Hoenn region, located in the office on the top floor of the League Building.

At the tea table, Mikoli smiled and told this unbelievable story to a plump, elegant lady in a noblewoman's dress beside her.

Bonney, the third of the Hoenn Elite Four and one of the Ice Elite Four, was so startled that she almost dropped her teacup.

"There haven't been any Champion League matches lately, so Genji lost a battle against a trainer he just happened to meet? That's impossible!"

It's important to know that what Mikuri told her wasn't some roadside sparring match, but rather a three-on-three competition where Genji was defeated.

In Pokémon battles, the most formal battle rules are three-on-three or six-on-six all-out battles.

Even in the league's major tournaments, these two rules are generally used.

Who defeated Genji?

Bonnie now wants to know who this amazing person is.

"You've heard of that person too, he's the famous Xiao Zhi."

Michael said this calmly; he had long known that Ash was no ordinary trainer.

"Isn't that amazing? Genji told me about it very happily this morning."

Bonnie was still quite surprised, after all, Genji was a well-established master.

Even when she used her all-ice-type team, she couldn't defeat his dragon-type Pokémon and could only be subordinate to him.

"Just which legendary Pokémon did that boy send out?"

"No, he didn't use a single legendary Pokémon."

"what!?"
